I watch this clip to remind me of what happens when children don't have consistent boundaries. And if you feel you are in this same position, then the session on Setting Effectvie boundaries will really help you out.

This modern song captures the essence of what a parent wishes for in their child after they themselves have battled through life.

Childhood is not always fair, nor kind, nor filled will fond memories.

This is what drives us to be our best selves. We promise our children they will have a childhood better than the one we had ourselves.

If you keep living your life as you are currently doing so now.... and you get to the age of 90, what will you look back on and regret?

Nearly all of us regret what we don't do. Rarely do with regret what we do as each mistake becomes a learning and every experience holds meaning.

Make sure your regrets of what you didn't do don't end up as weights on the shoulders of your chidlren because you didn't follow your own dreams first.

And if your biggest wish is that your children are happy and follow their dreams, you will need to set that example for them.

I am sure every parent that struggles with sibling rivalry wishes their children could have a relationship like this one. And it's possible. There are some amazing skills to learn to create these deep relationships. Conflict resolution, problem solving, listening with intent, engaging cooperation etc are just a few. Check out the Siblings with Success workshop session to learn them.

•  Have you even been stuck and not known what to do next?
• Do you sometimes feel you know that what you are doing now is not appropriate but not sure what to do instead?
• You want to parent better than you currently are but not sure how that looks?

 You are only stuck because you are not doing something different. There is no other reason. You are also only stuck because you just do not know the solution. So the quesiton to ask is whether you find yourself complaining that you don't have the solution, or do you spend your time and energy in doing something different so as to see if you get a different result.

In this interview with Christpoher Nevill (an expert in the field of personal development and accessing your better potential), I explore with him this stumbling block for so many parents. Doing the same thing over and over again but expecting a different result.

 Your choice of words (whether unconscious or consciously chosen) has the power to be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration. It can humiliate, or humour, hurt or heal.

The skills in language are the most powerful method to gain cooperation, instil confidence, problem solve, and create flow.

 In this interview with Christpoher Nevill (an expert in the field of personal development and accessing your better potential), I explore with him how we use language to make sense of the world around us.

The quickest and most powerful way to change a child's behaviour is to see what it is that you are doing that is creating it. Now I say it is the quickest but it is not the most comfortable.

When our children misbehave, it is easier to see our children as the problem, and that something is going on within them that must now change. But children behave within a bigger context, and that context is often created by ourselves as the parents.

An empowered parent looks to see what they are doing that is contributing to the behaviour that they don't like, and as such, can now find different ways to influence the change in that behaviour.

In this interview with Christpoher Nevill (an expert in the field of personal development and accessing your better potential), I explore with him the courage it takes to see your children as mirrors of what is going on for you as well.

This is the most powerful formula I know to bring flow to your family home

Awareness + Skills + Action = Possibilty (or flow)

• But what is this thing called awarness?
• What role do skills play?
• And what action must you take to bring it all together?

In this interview with Christpoher Nevill (an expert in the field of personal development and accessing your better potential), I explore with him this critical role of awareness in parenting and how my parenting skills build upon his work.
